I'm looking for suggestions here.

On my mail server which I access remotely over the Internet, incoming
mail is written to one of two mailboxes; one for mailing lists, and a
second for everything else.  I need a way for Gnus running on my
workstation to fetch mail from both of these mailboxes.

I do have ssh access to the server, so that isn't a problem, but it
seems like the Mail Source Specifiers for remote mail fetching (pop,
imap) assume one mailbox.  I can't find a way to specify multiple
mailboxes with these.

I installed Tramp and set mail-sources to fetch mail from a Maildir on
the server (using ssh) like so:

(setq mail-sources
      '((maildir :path "/[jason@a.mx.mastaler.com]~/Maildir/"
                 :subdirs ("new" "cur" "list/new" "list/cur"))))

But this is abysmally slow as each message in the Maildir is
downloaded and then unlinked one by one.

Any other ideas?
